Viet Cong, who are touring the UK have the whole Post Punk package. They've got the right name and sound. Their guitars clash and chime like an amalgam of the Gang of 4, Pere Ubu, Wire, PiL, Joy Division and Television. The question you'd have to ask as with previous Songs of the Day I've chosen recently is why do something that is such a close approximation of what's been done before over thirty years back? I suppose the answer lies in the quality of the songs. These two are pretty good.
